Azaroth

Mostly because I’m watching it, and I generally get banned from all of the sports forums I post on.

7:16 -  Hate the Tanguay trade for Montreal. Love the Jokinen trade for Phoenix. Great trade, really for both teams. But I think Florida got the raw end.

7:19 - Leafs swap picks with NYI to pick Schenn at #5. Congrats Leafers, really.  I’ve been a Leaf hater for years, but you guys deserve a quality rebuild at this point.

7:28 - Columbus swaps a first and a third for Umberger and a fourth from Philly. Seriously, nice move there Columbus. Absolutely beautiful, I think. It’s just too bad you couldn’t snag Malone’s rights.

7:35 - After snagging Filatov at #6, Columbus looks like they’ve got a smarter GM running their team these days… very good draft for the Blue Jackets so far.

7:55 - Islanders were clearly looking at Filatov for #7. After he went, they swapped 7 for 9 and a 40. I see this as fairly smart too, if the guy you want wasn’t there with #7. Pile up enough second and third round picks, like they’ve been doing, and you might end up randomly selecting a Zetterberg that’ll be absolutely fantastic in 4-5 years.

8:30 - Phoenix is having a good draft. They’ve going to be moving up the food chain relatively soon.

9:30 - Got bored, took a nap.
